Our Qumrantexts
bespeak the opposition
between certain circles in Second Temple Judaism
and the Q-community & indeed a conflict between two mutually exclusive worldviews,
each claiming exclusive truth, as some years later there would be between Jews
& Christians in general!

There was clearly
a very deep rift between the poor of grace
& their contemporaries, a rift explained by the scrolls in theological terms,
as part of the division of the world into two warring parties.

"For G d has sorted them into equal parts
until the last time & has put an everlasting loathing between their divisions.
Deeds of injustice are an abhorrence to truth & all the paths of truth are an abhorrence to injustice.
There exists a violent conflict in respect of all their decrees since they cannot walk together!"
This dualistic doctrine
provides an ideological grounding for the sect's hatred toward the broader society,
that is, toward all who rejected their teachings and lifestyle,
and refused to share in their plans.

The members of Qumran vow
"to love all the sons of light, each one according to his lot in G d's plam,
and to detest all the sons of darkness, each one in accordance to his guilt in G d's vindication!"
Hatred toward the surrounding society is thus transformed into a religious commandment.
Dualistic doctrine similarly justifies the radical disengagement from others, since they are the wicked
who are to be avoided.

"None of the men of the Community
should acquiesce to their authority in any law or regulation.
No one should eat of any of their possessions, or drink or accept anything from their hands
unless at its price! No holy man should support himself on any deed of futility,
for futile are all those who do not know the covenant.
So all those who scorn his word he shall cause
to vanish from the world; all their deeds
are uncleanness before him & there is
uncleanness in all
their possessions!"
Een voorbode dus
van soortgelijke zaken die al op komst waren een paar generaties voor Sjapo & de euangelisten:
Yeshu vormt achteraf gezien, na het einde van de burgeroorlog rond 70/73,
DE
grote scheiding
tussen fanatici onder collaborateurs
& zeloten?

Laila tov,
sleep well,
dream sweet
and tell us all about it
if you really want to do so,
now or tomorrow
